Ok guys the weakest part of my game in a club is dancing. Whats a fashionable modern dance to learn that you can apply to dance music or older songs? im not even familiar with all the names so a brief description would be useful also. 
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
it's nothing you learn, it's something you feel. after going a while, you will be so confident in it. I use to be self-conscious about dancing at the club but after doing it a lot then i got use to it. Just watch some Justin Timberlake concert videos, and try to mimic his moves. They aren't that hard if you practice
Swing & Blues (particularly Blues, but you don't learn one without the other). Those two are dances based on improvisation, grooving your entire body to the music and good understanding of rhythm & musicality. Once you get good at them, you can pick up everything else easily. They're my foundation (plus tap dancing). I do other dance styles as well and I get them very quickly. I can go to any club, and it doesn't matter what music they're playing, I can adapt and look like I've been learning the dance style for that song for a long time.sebastionay said:

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Confidence is king with club dancing. You don't have to learn to dance properly. Just have a look around occaisionally at what other people are doing and just start moving and don't hesitate. You will only look weak if you look shy, embarrased etc.
I can't dance for toffee but I just get a couple of drinks in me and go for it!
One of my friends also can't dance but he really goes for it on the dance floor, finds his own space and busts the moves out. We used to laugh at him but women go up and approach him. As long as you have the confidence to pull it off you are fine.
I go for a bit more of a restrained style but the one thing I do like to do occaisionally is (depending on the music) throw a few gimmick moves in there e.g. the chainsaw, John Travolta moves from Pulp Fiction etc. etc.

I no longer dance.
I'm older than most of you, been there, done that. Don't wanna do it anymore.
It's not an absolute essential that you do it, and most of the clubs are so crowded, you're pretty much just rocking back and forth anyway.
I say if you enjoy it, and it's something you want to learn, then go for it. But I wouldn't do it just to try to impress women. The efforts vs. the results is not a great pay out, in my experience.
In most cases, just be good enough so that you don't get laughed at-and thus, don't have to turn down a dance from an HB because you are afraid. But beyond that, it's pretty unusual that a chick is going to be into you because you're a great dancer.

Corey puts exact moves from some singers (justin timberlake , nelly furtado :crazy: ) from their music video . And doing the exact same moves its a bit too HARD TRYING and it will be creepy a bit . Learn some nice smooth moves and thats it . Dancing MY LOVE like Justin dances it is so creepy.Blackmm said:
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Here in my country , it plays mostly Techno , House , Trance and sometimes hip hop .krazyboy99 said:
And in most of Europe country's this is the music that is mostly played on clubs .
Hip hop is great anyway. I learned how to Crip Walk on youtube lol .
I have the same problem and that's the main reason I avoid clubs. I tried learning off youtube videos, and I do have some musical skill, but when it comes to dancing I just suck. I took a few salsa lessons but I just didn't like it so I gave up.sebastionay said:Ok guys the weakest part of my game in a club is dancing.

I think salsa might be what you're looking for but I've heard something about east coast swing (sp?) that seems to be pretty popular.
UK has a variety. in a mainstream club you will have Dance.R+B,cheese(bon jovi etc) in seperate rooms, however i prefer funky house when im in liverpool (otherwise prefer dance).
And i want to LEARN a relavant style of dance rather than twirl a glowstick!

You can dance now. What, did you think dancing well is an accident?
Your mission now is to scour Youtube for dancing videos. Find something you like, that you can do, and start practicing.
